A/N: I'm sooooooo sorry for not updating sooner. I've had a wicked case of writer's block. Thankfully, there are no classes today so I can catch up and milk my muse, who is staying for a quick vacation, for all she's worth.

I'm going to blow my own horn first - I've been pretty busy lately with my DeviantArt account. If you're interested in manga/anime/Teen Titans fan art, check it out! Under the same username. ;)

VOTING STATUS: We can start voting again! Remember, after RobStar week will be the most popular pairing.
QUICK REFRESHER: If I cannot agree/totally despise with your pairing (i.e. RobRae, CyJinx), definitely I can't spotlight that pairing because I won't write about something I can't even imagine. Slash is not accepted (i.e. SpAqua, SladeRobin), but certain crack pairings are fine (i.e. Hotgent)

DISCLAIMER: Disclaimed.

"Oh, friend Robin!"

Robin's ears perked up with delight at the sound of her dulcet tones, but his chest tightened at the noun. Friend. Lately, he had learned to despise that word...

"Robin! You must teach me the slang, yes?"

The boy wonder turned around and looked at Starfire with a picture of curiosity on his face. "Ah... why so sudden the desire to learn, Star?"

The Tamaranian smiled guiltily, rubbing the back of her neck. "It is just that... I have not found the time recently, and now I believe I have the time to learn," Starfire explained quickly. Robin looked at her skeptically. "Please, you do not wish to teach me? Perhaps I could ask Beast Bo-"

"I'll teach you!" Robin exclaimed, face red, hopping off the couch.

Starfire clasped her hands excitedly. "Glorious!"

"No, Star, it's catch some Z's, not catch the B's."

"Oh! Pardon me once more!"

Robin shook his head, smiling patiently. "It's okay, Star. What's two hours among friends?"

The boy wonder flipped a page on his notepad. "Um... okay, fill in the blank - 'Things will blank in around two weeks'."

Starfire rubbed her temples in thought. Suddenly, her eyes lit up with recognition. "Cool down?"

"Right!" Robin said, chuckling. His eyes flickered to the violet wall clock in Starfire's room. "I think it's time for-"

"-a break?" Starfire said tentatively, looking at Robin for approval. He laughed, playfully ruffling Starfire's hair.

"I must be such a great teacher," Robin boasted teasingly, grinning.

Starfire rolled her eyes in an equally mischievous manner. "As you wish."

"Robin?"

"Starfire?"

"Do you remember how I first acquired your language?"

Robin turned a light red. "Yup. Why?"

Starfire shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "Well, do you suppos-"

"Oh, you're not suggesti-"

"What if we-"

"But I thought you wanted to l-"

"What better way than t-"

"B-But... I-I really don-"

"Robin?"

"Y-Yes?"

"Stop talking."

"Guys?"

Beast Boy knocked on the door softly, poking his head through the crack.

"Guys, I brought a dictionary if you nee-"

Beast Boy turned red and suddenly rushed out the room. "Guess you don't," he muttered, embarrassed for the two.

A/N: Indirect fluff.
